Power Options Control Panel "Forgets" Settings

[darrylperrin]

I am running XP SP2 Pro on a HP Compaq nc6230 laptop. I seem to lose
the settings on the advanced tab of the Power Options control panel.
After I make a change and close the control panel and reopen it, it
remembers the settings, but seems to forget after restarts.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Darryl

Hi,

The issue might be due to corrupted power management settings. To resolve
the issue, reinstall power management. Following are the steps:

WinKey-Break, Hardware Tab, Device Manager Tab, Click the + next to computer
and double-click on Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)PC.
Click Driver and Update Driver. Install from a list, then "Don"t Search" it
should show Standard PC in the list. Shutdown and in the BIOS, disable
ACPI.Reboot and Windows will re-detect your hardware
